It's a big world out there, and life is full of rich stories just waiting to be told, read, and enjoyed by all who love reading stories. torus proxy aims to be a nexus between these stories and the eyes of all who wander here. And so, dear reader, we have added a page to feature guest writers and are opening the gates for guest contributions. We are looking for stories in search of a world to inhabit, tales in which the secrets of life can be told. If you have a short story, poem, or snippit that resonates with the fantastic, the strange, the mystical, or the quietly profound, we want to read it.
What we're looking for:
- poetry, short stories, timeless tales
- themes should be fantasy, surrealism, mythical, or philosophical fiction
- works exploring everyday heroism, subjective truth, and unseen wisdom
- anything that matches the perpetual model of torus proxy
What to avoid:
- graphic, grotesque violence, and sexual content (let's keep it E for everyone, please)
- anything that can be construed as bullying or hate speech.
- furthermore, it is requested that we all just be grand to one another, seriously, none of that ugly nonsense is welcome here
- AI generated works... yes, I know the images here are obviously generated (we don't have a graphic artist yet), but none of the writing here is AI generated. We want what comes from your divine human imagination.
